Wireless networking is awesome, but it’s hard work to maintain and keep secure especially when you run a business like a cafe or you have many friends coming in and out of your house.

The holy grail of wireless communications is to go both fast and far. Usually, you can have one or the other but not both.

Researchers from Rice University’s Wireless Network Group recently found a way to make use of a slice of the radio spectrum that is traditionally reserved for TV broadcasts – generally known as UHF – to transmit internet signal.

Monster, famous for their original Beats headphones, as well as their line of speakers and AV cables, now enters the sound streaming game with the SoundStage Wireless Music System. With today’s demands for distributed music, Monster responds with not just one product, but three: the S1 ($199.95), the S2 ($299.95) and the S3 ($399.95). Each features a leather top surface and beautiful ultra-slim design and they also all support Bluetooth, USB charging, 3.5mm input and digital optical for TV audio, on top of the WiFi streaming capability.
